Last night there were back to back brand new Arrested Development episodes, and I could not have been happier. Will the rest of you please watch this show so that it won’t disappear? It is truly the most brilliant comedy writing on TV. Take the first episode, where George Sr. decides to make a break for freedom and is faced with a choice of two escape vehicles at the Church and State Fair: a military Humvee or the Pope Mobile. As Ron Howard said in his ever so delightful voiceover, George Sr. chose the bulletproof one…the Pope Mobile. (Which also happened to not be bulletproof, as it was just a replica. To which George Sr. replied, “Thank God I didn’t take the Humvee!”)
In the second episode there was also a huge built up joke that concluded with Japanese investors watching Tobias dressed as a giant mole (the animal, not knowing he was suppose to be a government mole) crush a model town while George Michael swooped down in a jet pack to fight him. To explain all the details of this to someone who hadn’t seen it would just ruin the joke.
For those who like superheroes and spies, read Sleeper. Now. It is some of the best 24 issues of comics you’ll ever read.
Zombie lovers should go out and pick up The Walking Dead.

I am one of those rare people who don’t watch much tv. In fact, I don’t have cable or satellite and just rely on whatever I can pick up via antenna. On a semi-regular basis, I watch the Simpsons and King of the Hill. I like Family Guy, but always seem to forget to watch it. Anyway, I have seen Arrested Development and watched it last night and I agree with you – it’s extremely funny. The only issue I have with it is that Theron chick and her dopey character. But, I really like everyone else and the shows are always hilarious.
Didn’t you catch the end of the second episode? There was a reason Charlize was so dopey. When the revealed what MR F meant in the last seconds of the episode I almost died laughing.
She’s retarted – I got that. I saw her open the chocolate star and eat it, but what did Mr. F mean? I must have missed that.
The real Mr. F is Tobias Funke. MR F on Charlize’s bracelet, which Michael thought meant Mr. F, actually stands for Mentally Retarded Female.
Tobias didn’t know he was a spy though, right? I get it now…I think! Thanks!
